Thanks. What's difficult to understand is that when you get down to all the 10/1 grades that can encompass a card completely beaten to crap all the way up to the above Cobb. As Leon points out, how can a 10 look this good -- especially when so many 20s, 30s, etc. can't even compare? Maybe such a pin-holed card should instead receive a special qualification like ST, OC, etc? Collectors oftentimes view a 10 as a 10 no matter what the card looks like as they're too concerned about resale value instead of what the card actually looks like. Maybe a "PH" qualifier would solve that.
